My want list:

Details on backwards compatibility.. including if PS1/PS2 games will be "enhanced."
Details on the sexy region free ability.. does it include PS1/PS2 games?

4:55 -- A dig at opponents. PlayStation is not interested in gimmicks. PlayStation believes that next-gen does not begin until PS3 arrives.


Announces 100 Million PS2 systems shipped. Forecasts 10mil more.


Over 1 billion games served.


3 million registered uses of online play (between PS2 and PSP.)

4:58 -- Promises PlayStation 2 will be around for many years to come, with an amazing line-up of titles.


5:00 -- PSP gets a focus. Why did they wait, and why now? The answer is that this was the right time for PlayStation Portable, with all the promise PlayStation offers. Unrivaled portable play rivaling PS2. PSP is the fastest-selling system in Sony's history, with 17mil units out there. Forecasts another 12mil in the global market for this year. 540 games and 47.3 million games shipped.

5:07 -- Times Square video reel of kids on the street talking about PlayStation. Then people from cities all over the world talking about PSP, PlayStation 2, and PlayStation 3. Some cute Japanese lasses. Some freaky Japanese dudes. It all culmintaes in...


5:09 -- PlayStation 3. PlayStation influences the world, and all of the cool goodies of PS3 and its cell will help to change the world. PS3 will include HDD and do true HD and Dolby Surround Sound.


Back-catalog compatibility: All PS games promised for backward-compatibility, as well as DVD and other media used on PlayStation systems. PSP will also connect with PS3.


5:14 -- Blu-Ray capacity. Sony thinks it's important to have space. 26% of PlayStation 2 games were on DVD when PS2 launched; now, it's 95%.

FYI: Jupiters Research HDTV adoption rate has already been debunked. Their data projections for 2005 are way off, as will it be in the future... Sigh...

I hope it's made clear which games are running on real hardware, and not just development mockups.

I'm interested in the usb port on the back. And what looks like a "PS" button in the center.
